Today at 1pm on ESPN, the 17 Missouri Tigers 13-3 (2-1) visit the O'Connell Center to take on the 10 Florida Gators 13-2 (3-0). Mizzou comes into this one having won their last conference game after losing their second. They won their first ever SEC game. The Tigers defeated Georgia 79-62 at home on Wednesday night. Their leading scorer, Jabari Brown, has an average of 13.9 points per game. Phil Pressey is a dynamic point guard that makes this Tigers team go for coach Frank Haith. They also brought in a transfer from Connecticut, Alex Oriakhi. He is eligible to play this season because of the Huskies' postseason ban. Florida comes into this game having won their first three conference games, the most recent being a 68-47 win at Texas A&M on Thursday night. Kenny Boyton, one of the best point guards in the nation, leads the Gators with an average of 13.2 points per game for coach Billy Donovan. This is the first meeting between these teams. Look for this to be very close, but the homecourt of Florida should get them the win in this one.
